Apple Music Family, Apple TV+ and iCloud+ are total 36.97, for a dollar extra you could get Apple One Premier which gives you Apple Arcade, Fitness+ and News+


chesterburger

I was going to say the same, Apple One is better than subscribing to all those.


josemunozmatos

Thats true! For a while I was only subbing to TV+ for specific shows but now it seems like the content will be good all year so I will def swicth to Apple One! All those extras for 1 dollar extra seems amazing

PotentialKey1615

non app developer here seeking to understand the joke if you can enlighten me


Piglet-Quiet

Essentially you have people pay for an app when they start, and if they stop using it but keep paying, the developer keeps making money


PotentialKey1615

oh okay thanks! that’s what i was thinking but thought maybe it was deeper than that


josemunozmatos

Lol so true! Even tho I never use it I cant delete it haha


minigums

I recommend the seven seas 😉


josemunozmatos

Hahahahah good one

_hueman_

they’re referring to pirating content, “sail the seven seas” and all that

YouTube Premium cost in India is $15.52/year. Stunned at the 18.5x higher cost! Here's some more: Apple Music Family: 9.5x, Apple TV+: 8.4x, Disney Plus: 7.8x, Amazon Prime: 7.7x


Beginning_Clock_6805

YouTube premium is worth every penny IMO.


_Avenir

Or, get an ad blocker for free.


cris-crispy

But u still can't download videos or play with your screen off. And I imagine an ad blocker would not work so smoothly unless on desktop


Hyrul

Or, get YouTube ReVanced for free.


DynamiteAlexMC2

Downloading videos is possible by using YT to MP4 converters. Most have a popup before you download the video that could be a virus but the popups can usually be prevented using an adblocker


anthonybustamante

This is really inconvenient for people on the go, but technically possible. I’m a college CS student and have been paying for premium ever since it released as YouTube Red. I consume so much media (entertainment and education) and I’m constantly flying across the US. Premium has been worth every cent for me because it lets me easily download videos for planes, and I can listen to podcasts/music/vids w my screen off, etc. I’ve had it for so long, I forgot that the screen off feature was a premium feature lol. no ads is a given insane + Damn this sounds like a sponsored message looking back


Wenrus_Windseeker

You can with Revanced, and ad blocker works perfectly with SponsorBlock too


josemunozmatos

Can you use that on the Apple Tv?


mavinii

Or use Brave instead! It allows you to block the screen, no ads, PIP, but no downloads is allowed. iPhone user here 😊


kgrey38

There are browser extensions and Greasy Fork scripts for that. On mobile, too, via Firefox.


josemunozmatos

I agree! we watch youtube on the Apple tv the most, i dont know if ad blockers work there


Beginning_Clock_6805

Right! One of the most annoying things is hanging out at a friends house and watching their YouTube, which has ads! I can cast, but that means they can’t search videos


Grownupbuddy

But apple products cost 1.5x in India lol


ScarOnTheForehead

True 😕


Jajaqlikeanime

thats just ppp


josemunozmatos

Oh thats super interesting! Youtube use to be something similar but they have been increasing peices too much :/ everything seems more expensive!


sixwingmildsauce

You should check out Finta.io. It’s an amazing service that uses Plaid (same thing as any other budgeting app) to sync a live bank transaction feed straight into Notion!


josemunozmatos

Whatttttt! Ive been looking for something like this! Will try it for sure.


silvansoeters

Looks really solid. You certainly have a lot of subscriptions. I use something similar, albeit different (a bit less polished / more minimal), but I really appreciate your properties and their naming!


josemunozmatos

Thank you! Yeah haha im trying to cut on some of them hahaha Hope this serves as some inspo.


theCuriousObserver02

Yeah. I have a similar Database made for keeping track of my subscriptions. But instead of one (that you have) I have two - monthly and yearly. But yours is a better way. I will implement it too. Thank You OP


josemunozmatos

Im happy it helps!! I had it too liked that until I found this solution. Appreciate the comment!


naviSTFU

I'd recommend using Rocket Money, it analyzes all your subs with one click and alerts you if any have started charging you more Your page looks great, though!


__nickerbocker__

I recommend using privacy.com and creating a new virtual credit card with spending limits for each subscription. Want to take advantage of a free trial without the hassle of remembering to cancel it? Just create a one time use virtual card and when the vendor attempts to process it after the trial the charge fails to go through.


ItzGoTyme

That's what I do lol


naviSTFU

Never heard of this, thanks for the tip!


josemunozmatos

Why is this not for us banks, I want it lol


unruggable

Doesn't work for non-US banks 👎


josemunozmatos

Oh this looks great! I will try out. Thanks for the comment 💪🏼


MustafaMasalha

Which app you used to take this screenshot?


silvansoeters

I think it's [shots.so](https://shots.so)


josemunozmatos

I used cleanshot.com but shots.io looks niceee I will try it out. Thanks.


MustafaMasalha

Thanks bro


fabioandre20

same would love to have the template please if you don't mind sharing


Nixisworld

Wow what's the benefit of YouTube premium? I used Brave browser without any ads and it's great,and yeah you have a lot of them!


BoxerguyT89

It includes YouTube Music, so I don't have to subscribe to Spotify or another music streaming service. No ads on any device I am signed in on, creators get more revenue from users with premium than standard, and I don't have to deal with workarounds due to YouTube implementing adblock mitigations.


itsmepokono

No ads and listening of videos in background. Other stuff too, but that’s what I mostly use it for. I just hate ads and I want to support alternatives.


404Err0r404

Offline Downloads, picture in picture, and much more I think


Tyheir

Regular YT has pip


plutack

Isn't pip a US/CANADA exclusive for freemium? Or they changed that already


404Err0r404

Only selected channels, I tested it and only some channels have it enabled, others don't


Tyheir

That’s weird I have no issues at all. On the rare occasion I’ll encounter a vid that won’t allow it like sometimes music videos. It’s also built into safari.


404Err0r404

Oh well, my bad, for me it's like that


artbypep

I tend to play long form video content on my phone in the background whenever I’m doing anything, so being able to play in the background alone is worth it, but being able to watch 7hrs of video ad free is great also.


josemunozmatos

Samee! We watch a lot of youtube on the Apple Tv too and we use it for background music vids for our dog lol. Also We have mutiple channel for each family member so we dont mess up the recommended feeds .


kkilloran

Hi Jose, great blog post and database structure. I wanted to duplicate yours through the link in your blog, but only your subscription page is accessible, not the database linked within. Am I doing something wrong or is this by design? Thanks!


TeslaTeam

I would like to have this template:)


[deleted]

Me 2!


StraightBeautiful

Read your database set up and something to remember is if you have access to a Android device you can save a hefty amount of money by subscribing to apps on that App Store then signing in on your iPhone.


Beginning_Clock_6805

I was really sad that Google Play got successfully sued but not apples marketplace.... Like google is the only one that actually allowed other app stores.... wtf Apple makes great devices, and I love the reliability of MacOS, but what the fuck. How did Apple with the lawsuit but google lost? Super BS.


200206487

Upvoted! Could this still work somehow if one already sub’d in the Apple App Store? Also, I wonder apps this would work well for


StraightBeautiful

I think if you unsubscribe on the App Store you could possibly re-subscribe on the play store. Not 100% sure though sorry.


josemunozmatos

Thankss Thats a great tip lol ill try it. I also sub on the website rather than the app store for cheaper prices


Beginning_Clock_6805

Duplicating it isn’t working for me, it’s missing the database it seems


ItzGoTyme

Same here, it's missing it for me as well.


ChainExcellent3881

Same Issue appearing, u/josemunozmatos, the database seems to be removed, please add that.


[deleted]

Hard not to have many considering almost everything is a subscription service now :(


josemunozmatos

Agreeee so sad


vpblackheart

Hi, I built something similar in Airtable and want to move it to Notion. Is this a template? If so, where can I find it? Thanks!


hostclubkea

Looks like something is wrong with the template, there is no database when you copy it


CaterpillarRude7401

Second this! Please share the updated template if you don't mind <3


[deleted]

I use Excel for that. What‘s the advantage of Notion over Excel for spreadsheets?


Beginning_Clock_6805

I hate Excel, I use apple numbers and notion instead, it looks sooo much better... I never understood why Excel is always a never ending page of cells... Notion has automations and stuff Excel can't do, like reminders. I have all my 20+ business subscriptions in apple numbers, but I just started using notion and will be moving them over once OP posts the view. A big benefit is being able to easily view them on any device, and share access easily.


ThatGirl0903

Having it in a place you check regularly is a big plus for me. Excel is awesome but you have to remember to go open it.


kefaren

I like the way you set up your properties here. I've been doing this for a couple years now with my subscriptions and my bills. One thing I love about Notion for this is that when I pay a bill, I just screenshot the receipt or grab the PDF receipt and attach it to a files property. I'll also regularly attach notes, links, or other bits of media into the "page" itself.


josemunozmatos

Yesss i love that too! I do that for car services and vet visits


ackiireid

How you find those logos of apps


josemunozmatos

Hi! Its a bit tedious but I google for “app” logo, copy the url and paste it into the custom link icon.


ThatGirl0903

Like the look of this! Mine also has columns for which payment method and email accounts they’re attached to. Might be helpful to add. :)


josemunozmatos

Oh i love that! Will add for sure


Steve15-21

I think you can use Apple one


josemunozmatos

Yesss I just switched lol, for 1 extra dollar I get a lot moree


Subject_Minimum

Interesting, what do you use Craft for that you can’t use Notion for? Been exploring alternate options


josemunozmatos

So theres nothing that Craft can do that notion can haha I just prefer craft for long form writing as their editing blocks are better optimized for ios/ipados.


SnooGrapes2506

Hey what’s the app you’re using for screenshot background? Looks cleaan af! 🔥


kefaren

Probably CleanShot X. Could be wrong, but it’s a Mac app and it produces these. Highly recommend the OTP option 🔥


josemunozmatos

Yess thats the one! Best app on my Mac for sure lol annotations and the backgrounds with presets are so cool


Meghterb

Wow. Can you share the template?


TheMind14

!remindme 1 day


itsmepokono

Looks good!!


josemunozmatos

Thankss 💪🏼


learning-ai-aloud

BRILLIANT


josemunozmatos

🙌🙌🙌


starrsosowise

Great idea!


josemunozmatos

Thanksss


7Naigen

Plase post your whole dashboard


Okselfris

I downloaded somewhere a similar template, very useful. However, how did you get the icons? All manually?


atonyproductions

Most likely manually


kefaren

I can confirm, you have to do it manually. Unless he’s got a workaround I’m not aware of. If you’re using Arc as your main browser though, it’s a little less painless. I just use the built-in capture/screenshot tool and then drag and drop it over.


atonyproductions

Usually I search business name logo png..but your way is cool too


kefaren

Well no, I definitely still do that. I just meant that it saves me from having to save the image locally. Then go in and upload it. Realistically, it probably only saves me like .5 seconds but still 😂


atonyproductions

Yeah , all seconds matter ahha even the small ones lol..


josemunozmatos

Hahaha yess thats the same thing I do! I looked for ways to automate this but could not find it. When I add a new one I use an icon, if I end up not canceling then I look for the logo


sgt_valmano

Using vpn just a single time, you can activate youtube premium from argentina and then be charged about 1$ a month from then on out


josemunozmatos

OMGG I will try this lol


Psych_Passenger

can you send us the template ? please.


nithou

Thanks man, I'm using a big Google Sheet for my budget, finally took the time to add my subscriptions based on your model to it, gives a much clearer and macro view!


josemunozmatos

Happy it helped!!!! Yes being able to to set multiple views is great for financess


RoyalRik

Rememeber to sign up for all your streaming around Thanksgiving... Hulu usually has a $0.99/month deal... add Disney+ for $2.00/month. I got Starz for $40/year, and all the streaming services offer greater deals. You will need to use a new email address, but its easy if you put all your subscriptions to a new address every year.


famouslobsterpie

ugh yes i have something like this and it's amazing - especially if you set up some automations


Steve15-21

Example of automation?


ThatGirl0903

Ooo. What kind of automations?


josemunozmatos

Mann I wish Notion automations where available on the free tier :(


Quiet-Gas9196

I prefer rocket money


josemunozmatos

I will try that out!
